Ingredients

  • 35 chicken wings tips removed (I used the bag of frozen ones in the cases at Costco)

For the Sauce:

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ cup dry red wine
  • 2 tsp dry mustard
  • 2 large garlic cloves crushed
  • ¼ cup lemon juice F
  • fresh ground pepper to taste

For the Garnish:

  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish optional
  • Parsley chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Put chicken in the bottom of a large slow cooker
  • Combine all sauce ingredients and pour over chicken.
  • Let stand for at least 1 hour. Be sure all wings are well coated with marinade.
  • Set cooker to cook for 3-4 hours on low; Meat should be tender but the wings should not be falling apart.
  • Pour off sauce and skim fat. Reduce sauce in a pan on the stovetop until thickened. Return to pot with chicken and serve.

Notes

No slow cooker? No problem. Here's how to finish them with your oven:[br][br]Place wings in large baking pan and cover with sauce. Put pan in 350 oven and reduce heat to 250. Bake 4-5 hours (check hourly), turning wings at regular intervals.
If all marinade is not absorbed, pour off and reduce in a pan on the stovetop; add back to wings before serving.
